Question

ok I was getting help from a kind person on this problem and would like to see if anyone can help here is my code.
urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',

url(r'^venues/(?P<venue_id>\d+)/$','venues.views.venue', name='venue'),

views.py

def venue(request,venue_id):
venue= get_object_or_404(VenueProfile,
                           venue__pk=venue_id).select_related('venue')

return render_to_response('venues/venueprofile',{'venue',venue},
    context_instance=RequestContext(request))

template

{% load url from future %}
{% for v in venues %}
    {% with ven=v.venue profile=v %}
<a href="{% url 'venue' venue_id=venue.pk %}">{{ven.name}}</a>

now when I try to use this i get Reverse for ‘venue’ with arguments ‘()’ and keyword arguments ‘{‘venue_id’: ”}’ not found.Can anybody please help me here, and please keep in mind I left out some code like the {{venues}} object defined in a view.

Answer 1

Your venue object in your template is none, so it doesn’t have a pk. In your template you aren’t passing any venues object either. Perhaps simplifying your code a bit will help:

Adjusting your view method a bit:

from django.shortcuts import render

def venue(request,venue_id):
    the_venue = get_object_or_404(Venue,pk=venue_id)
    return render(request,'venues/venueprofile',{'venue',the_venue})

Your template:

{% load url from future %}
<a href="{% url 'venue' venue_id=venue.pk %}">{{venue.name}}</a>
